Remember to de-fluff it!!

mine kept tripping the switches downstairs, and making a funny noise so I decided to pull it out and check it over, well the back vent was almost blocked with fluff so DH took the sides off and the inside was completely covered with fluff!! A whole carrierbag full!!

Turns out the last engineer hadn't put the filter back together properly! explains why it was only ever half full when I went to empty it!

I'm glad that it tripped off, could have been a fire hazzard!

Anyway, now got to go dust and clean the kitchen

You are supposed to pull your tumble dryer out regularly to hoover behind and also if you use a condensor to clear that regularly.

oh, behind it was clear for a change, except for the actual tube. up until now I've never been one for house work, so it's probably my own fault.

That could of been very dodgy. Glad you got to it in time.
